Outlook → Google Migration Questions

How do I export my Outlook Contacts?

In Outlook desktop, go to File, Open & Export, Import/Export, select Export to a file, choose CSV, and select your Contacts folder. In Outlook.com, go to People and click Manage Contacts then Export contacts.

How do I import into Google Contacts after conversion?

Go to contacts.google.com, click Import in the left sidebar, select the converted CSV file, and click Import. All contacts will be added to your Google account.

Will all my contacts transfer?

Yes. All contacts are migrated preserving emails, phone numbers, addresses, companies, job titles, birthdays, notes, and categories converted to Google groups.

Why You Cannot Import Outlook CSV Directly to Google

Incompatible Column Layouts

Outlook uses flat named columns (Mobile Phone, Home Street, Business Phone) while Google expects numbered multi-value columns (Phone 1 - Type, Phone 1 - Value). Direct import creates empty fields and loses phone type information.

What This Tool Does

Upload your Outlook Contacts CSV. The tool restructures flat columns into Google numbered format, combines address fields, reformats birthdays, and maps categories to Google groups. Download and import directly to Google Contacts.
